U.S. tries to extradite Aristide's security chief

Toronto � A Canadian immigration hearing against the security chief to ousted Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide ended dramatically Monday as Oriel Jean was served with an extradition warrant to the U.S.

2. Is this the same guy who...

confirmed Aristide's account of how Aristide was told he was being taken to a press conference, only to be hustled on to a plane (kidnapped)?

If so, I think we know what these "drugs" charges are about.
